Not so sure I agree. For whatever reasons - Duquette or
other - Roger wasn't exactly putting on the game face Sox
fans appreciate (a sort of 'yeah, we know it's hopeless, but
we're gonna try anyway' attitude). Clemens gave every
impression of really not caring well before he left the team.
That he then started to win for the Yanks only irritated Sox
fans more (proving that he really was sandbagging after
all).
Root causes may be debated, of course.
BTW - there's a beautifully written story about Bucky Dent
watching a Bosox/Yanks game from the Green Monster
seats in today's Wall Street Journal. Fans of both clubs
would appreciate it.
